Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
A short menu keeps the line moving in a lunch break.
A dining area at base helps.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
